Zeta-Jones revealed that she accepted a role in Rock of Ages before even reading the script.

"It's great playing a villain, it really is," she quipped, reports Flicks and Bits.

She added of her character: "I think Patricia Whitmore is the kind of woman who sees her role as first lady of Los Angeles as being much more important than her husband's role as mayor, and there's no question as to who wears the pants in the family.

"She's an outspoken activist who feels rock 'n' roll is satanic music, and she creates a campaign to clean up what she believes is the real filth of her city's streets: rock music... Even before seeing the script, I knew it would be a blast and I had to be a part of it."
